Plays, drama and stuff like that

I adore Tennesse Williams. The Glass Menagerie probably being my favourite, to be a cliché, it's just wonderful and so beautifully written. Saw it in London for my birthday last year and they did it so well as well...

Also really like Arthur Miller, though I think that's a lot to do with his being my first real introduction into plays beyond Our Day Out and Shakespeare. But yeah, quite a fan of A View From the Bridge and All My Sons in particular.

Oh and did Zoo Story (Edward Albee) as part of my degree last term, was brilliant. I should really read his other stuff...

Embarassingly, the only Pinter play I've seen is Landscape and I hate to say that I really didn't like it. I think it's the Pinter pauses that p*ss me off- I'm not a huge fan of anything that likes to remind you that you're watching a play (don't even get me started on Brecht...)

I can't think of a modern English play I really like offhand except for Woman In Black, though I think that was more to do with the fact that the staging scared me sh*tless when I saw it rather than it being incredibly written. Besides, wasn't Beckett Irish Though obviously love the good oldies'- Shakespeare, Marlowe (prefer him to Shakespeare because I'm a commoner and like the blood/gore), 'Tis Pity She's a Wh*re (Ford), etc. I think I'm fast becoming a bit of a Renaissance geek...

Yeah there's my shockingly uneducated views on drama (I should really know more... :S)

Ask me about musicals, however... (Hey, it's 'musical theatre, it counts... kinda... Except anything by Lloyd Webber which actually comes under the title of Utter Sh*t. Anyway)
